This episode is inspired by the viral Vogue article "Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?" Because I kind of agree, not because love is embarrassing, but because, like the article says, making your boyfriend the center of your life is not healthy. 

We’re getting honest about identity, codependency, and the "cringe" of making a relationship your whole personality. From the ways we abandon our own passions to the subtle habit of disappearing into someone else’s life—this is a reminder that healthy love should amplify who you are, not replace it.

If you’ve ever felt like you lost your "cool" the moment you got into a relationship, or you’re struggling to find the balance between being a partner and being your own person, this episode is for you.

With Love, Mafe.

We spend so much energy making excuses for people that we stop listening to what our gut is actually telling us. It’s not about being quick to judge or cutting people off at the first sign of friction; it’s about learning to distinguish between a bad day and a pattern of behavior that doesn't respect your worth.

In this episode, we’re getting honest about self-awareness, discernment, and the messy reality of outgrowing people. It’s not about being judgmental; it’s about learning how to fairly assess if a connection is healthy or just heavy. From identifying one-sided energy and subtle competition to knowing when to set a boundary versus when to walk away—this is a reminder that the quality of your life is often a reflection of the people you allow to stay in it.

If you’ve ever felt drained by a "best friend," struggled with the friend who only reaches out for favors, or wondered how to actually act on the red flags you’re seeing without feeling like the "bad guy," this episode is for you.

With Love, Mafe.

We often talk about wanting to achieve more or reach that next milestone… but what if the real shift happens when we finally stop looking at everyone else’s clock and start trusting our own?

In this episode, we’re getting honest about comparison, the pressure of "feeling behind," and how to reclaim your peace. From the toxic cycle of social media scrolling to the deep-seated fear that we aren't doing enough - this is a reminder that your journey isn't a race, and your timeline is exactly where it needs to be.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling short, wondered why everyone else seems to have it figured out, or felt that heavy weight of "comparison is the thief of joy," this episode is for you.

With Love, Mafe.

We often talk about wanting to change our lives… but what if the real shift happens when we finally let go of the person we used to be?

In this episode, we’re getting honest about the grieving process of personal growth and why growth requires the end of your old self. From the discomfort of "losing yourself" to the beauty of rediscovery — this is a reminder that you aren't alone in feeling lost during your evolution.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in a transition period where you no longer fit into your old life but don't quite know who the "new you" is yet, this episode is for you.

With Love, Mafe.

Let’s be real for a second: the "perfect time" is a myth we tell ourselves so we don't have to start.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, a goal, or a version of yourself that you’re dying to meet, but you’re waiting for the stars to align... this episode is your sign to be honest with yourself. Today, we’re breaking down why we procrastinate, how perfectionism is actually just fear, and how taking messy action completely changed my life.

I’m sharing the raw truth about how I stopped waiting and started doing. No more "I'll start Monday." We’re starting now.

With Love, Mafe.

We talk a lot about wanting better friendships… but what if the real shift happens when we become the friend we’re looking for?

In this episode, we’re getting honest about friendship, self-awareness, and personal responsibility. From communication and boundaries to presence, empathy, and emotional maturity — this is a reminder that the relationships we attract often reflect the way we show up.

If you’ve ever felt disappointed by friendships, outgrown certain people, or wondered why your connections don’t feel as deep or aligned as you want them to be, this episode is for you.

With Love, Mafe.

What if the thing you’re most afraid of—being cringe, being judged, being misunderstood—is actually the key to your freedom?

In this episode, we’re talking about why being cringe is being free and how letting go of other people’s opinions can completely change the way you show up in your life, your creativity, and your goals. From people-pleasing and overthinking to self-expression, confidence, and authenticity, this is a reminder that you don’t owe anyone a polished version of yourself.

If you’ve ever held back from posting, creating, speaking up, or simply being yourself because of fear of judgment, this episode is for you.

With Love, Mafe.

January comes with a lot of noise. Pressure to reinvent yourself overnight, to have it all figured out, to wake up as a brand-new person just because the calendar changed. But what if that pressure is fake?

In this episode, we talk about the truth behind January expectations, why having a bumpy start to the year is completely okay, and how growth doesn’t need a specific date to begin. You don’t need a perfect morning routine, a strict plan, or a dramatic reset to move forward. Sometimes, restarting looks like resting. Sometimes it looks like pausing. And sometimes it simply looks like choosing yourself again, whenever you’re ready.

This episode is a reminder that you’re not behind, you’re not late, and you’re not failing. Your goals don’t expire in January. You’re allowed to begin again at any moment, in your own way, on your own time.

Press play if you need permission to take your time, soften your expectations, and redefine what progress really means.

With love, Mafe

Welcome back to I Missed Me.

This feels like the right way to start the year: slow, honest, and real

If you’re new here, hi, I’m Mafe. And if you’ve been here since the beginning, thank you for still choosing to listen. This podcast started in 2022 as a safe space for self-love, healing, and growth… but behind the scenes, I’ve been growing too, sometimes beautifully, sometimes painfully.

But what I realized is this podcast has never been about perfection; it’s been about showing up as I am.

This podcast has held me through so many phases of my life, and I’m so grateful I didn’t walk away from it. I love creating this space. I love connecting with you. And I love that we get to grow together, even when it’s messy.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening.

And here’s to starting the year gently—together.

With love,

Mafe.

This episode is for anyone who’s trying to move on but still feels the ache in their chest. For anyone who’s learning how to let go without rushing their healing. For anyone who needs permission to feel what they feel.

I share four real, honest ways to heal your heart, not surface-level advice, but the kind of healing that actually asks you to sit with the pain, face the truth, and slowly come back home to yourself.

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t loud or linear. It’s gentle. It’s quiet. It’s choosing yourself in small moments, over and over again. And even when it doesn’t feel like it, you are already healing.

If your heart feels heavy right now, this episode is for you.

With love, Mafe
